Wow, that's amazing! What camera did you use? I need that one as well :D

@MeetMyMeatBE Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. This footage was shot on a Sony FX1000, and for the daytime outdoor scenes I'm was also using a Hoya Pro-Digital polarizing filter on the lens.

@vmax135 Looked up the Sony FX1000, and a 3000$ camera is out of my budget at the moment. Can you recommend any HD camera that is below 500$? Thanks.

[vmax135]

@MeetMyMeatBE Both Sony and Canon have some pretty decent consumer-level models available. Though I've traditionally stuck with Sony and the FX1000 is head and shoulders above the comparable Canon model... in the consumer HD space, Canon's VIXIA line has actually impressed me a bit more than Sony's... so, my recommedation would be to check out the various models in Canon's line and see if there's something that fits your need and your budget.

@vmax135 Okay, thanks a lot! I got my eye on a Canon Vixia HF10. The HD quality looks amazing and with a price tag of 600$, it's a good deal. Have you ever used one of these?

@MrShanfara Thanks again! I'm glad you liked this clip... the time-lapse really does make it easy to see the wind direction, and how it changes over time.
